“ | That's not to say that I thought that every article should be fought for. [...] Still, a lot of good work—verifiable, informative, brain-leapingly strange—is being cast out of this paperless, infinitely expandable accordion folder by people who have a narrow, almost grade-schoolish notion of what sort of curiosity an online encyclopedia will be able to satisfy in the years to come. [...] It's harder to improve something that's already written, or to write something altogether new, especially now that so many of the World Book–sanctioned encyclopedic fruits are long plucked. There are some people on Wikipedia now who are just bullies, who take pleasure in wrecking and mocking peoples' work—even to the point of laughing at nonstandard "Engrish." They poke articles full of warnings and citation-needed notes and deletion prods till the topics go away. - | ” |

“ | [...] Taking a broader view, the ARS and inclusionism is supported by the wider community of contributors and internet users. Externally, Journalists have wrote positively about the ARS and inclusionists, while taking a much dimmer view of deletionists. The squad is also aligned with the Foundation who still wish to foster growth, promote diversity and a friendly collaborative project - values which the ARS reflects. The squad represents the original m:Vision of this project, which is still used in our marketing material Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment. So a very credible alternative view is that its those who are overly aggressive in pursuing their contrarian elitist and deletionist vision who are casing needless hostility.

who am i
|
---|
29 y.o. Italian postdoc in Molecular Biology, currently working at the University of Cambridge. Interests: biophysics, open source, politically uncorrectness, freedom of human knowledge. I am aware I am not the best of editors. My nickname comes from this malformation. This may seem morbid. It's because actually, "curiosities" like that are open doors on the deep secrets of nature. |

about my edits

When I can't edit properly due to time/concentration constraints, I am getting an habit of intervening on WP:AFD to help articles to be rescued from the deletionist wrath :) My edit stats are here or here, depending on which tool you prefer. |

Proposals[edit]Alas, all of these are perennial proposals -yet I still support them :)
Articles[edit]Also in general the Neofascism pages are lacking in info, verifying etc. (it's generally hard to find reliable informations about those movements, but...)

contested PRODs that survived AfD

Many people misuse PROD tags. On obscure articles, PROD tagging can lead to deletion of fine articles without a community discussion. This should not happen. If you have doubts on an article, please bring articles at AfD for proper discussion! |
disclosure

---|
I have an account on the Wikipedia Review forum. I don't belong to the WR "community", however: I strongly disagree with almost all of their stances on WP, and I feel that WR is a problem not for their opinions but for transparency. I did the account only in the attempt of having a civil discussion with the "other side". |
